Agreed. I said the exact same thing. It gets buried fast in this thread though but I totally agree.

Good thing about this loss is that it takes the pedestal away from the 49ers, I dont ever think these players have ever been glorified the way that they have in the past few weeks, it was ridiculous!

To me it seems that this team plays way better with a chip on their shoulder rather than a target on their backs.

Yeah, agreed...wasn't much of a "bump" though; in fact, he was beat instantly off the LOS. Had he been right up in his face, he might have been able to throw the timing off that route, under cut it for a pick or at least defend the pass. It's not like he didn't have Whitner/Goldson playing 40 yards deep behind them just in case.

But to your point, it was just one of those games and I hope we learn from it. Humble hearts!

This was almost a mirror image to that f**king Cards loss last season; dome game, physically out-matched. -They forced Alex into the same mistakes (within the same manor) as the Cards did, the games are so similar it's creepy...

Reminds me more of vs the Ravens but I agree.

Our QB did not take the beating that he took vs the Ravens. We just got beat using our formula. We helped in that we got away from the run a bit too much this game. The Ravens just straight up ambushed us whereas the Vikes just outplayed us while Ponder made great decisions before the huddle and on the run outside the pocket. They chewed up clock and our defense did not perform well at all

I had a bad feeling going into this game. Much like how I felt going into the ravens game last year. It just felt like a trap game and the niners showed it by showing up flat and looking gassed something they never do. The sun will rise tomorrow and the Niners will get better. I look forward to a rebound and a statement against the New York Tebow's

It was a mirror image of how we beat teams. Just never thought I would see a lame duck coach like Leslie Frazier take Harbaugh's formula and use it to convincingly beat him with it.

I hate seeing us lose!!! This game was our wake up call, I had a feeling this game would be a trap. I think we got big headed and thought teams would just lay down for us. This game will help us stay hungry and focused!! We are fine niners do not panic yet. I feel sorry for the jets next week... On second thought no I don't. Go niners!!!!

My point being they struggled from behind where the offense was completely shut down trying to scheme against them. Our defense kept them at bay not stopping them but keeping the game within reach and the offense unable to reward them. I think it is reasonable to keep a team within two scores on defense and expect the offense to cover the difference. We didn't except when convenient.
